QuickBBS Version 2.02 Changes Document
======================================
Version 2.02 of QuickBBS is simply a maintainence release for Version
2.01. It fixed a lot of the major bugs that existed in Version 2.01.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOTICE: The replacement program for EchoGen (QECHO) did not make it
into this release. It will be released on August 15, 1988.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
* QuickBBS's modem response strings (in QCONFIG) will now accept the
'|' character as a carriage return symbol. Many people's modems
would confuse QuickBBS and cause it to think every call was 300
baud. Place a '|' character at the end of the 300 baud response
string and the problems should clear up.
* QuickBBS will no longer let a user sit in continuous read mode and
over step thier time limit.
* The 18:12:00 and 00:00:00 time limit bugs have been fixed, QuickBBS
will no longer kick the user off for no reason at both of these
times.
* New configuration options have been added, please go over screen 4
in QCONFIG.
* If a user deletes a marked message, he/she can no longer read it.
QuickBBS v2.01 would let the user re-read the message after it had
been deleted, this was a bug.
* The command type 28's problems have been cleaned up, users should
be able to select/deselect any combined boards he/she wants.
* The verbose archive command (type 34) has been fixed, it will no
longer choke on 0 length files in an archive.
* MSGPACK has been fixed so it does not take so long to translate the
pointers contained in the LASTREAD.BBS file.
* the SEC#.xxx (ASC/ANS) file has been moved to be displayed after
the WELCOME.xxx file.
* MENUEDIT has been fixed so that it will not let you insert any
entries if the editor is full (50 entries).
* DoubleDOS and DesqView awareness has been added, QuickBBS will now
reconize when either one of these multitaskers are present.
QuickBBS will also release CPU time over to the alternate tasks
being run.
NOTE: This does not mean that QuickBBS will run under multi-node
applications, this simply means that QuickBBS can function and run
smoother in DoubleDOS or DesqView. Mutli-node support will be added
to QuickBBS v3.00.
* QuickBBS will no longer reconize users who have been marked as
(DELETED) in the user database. Before, only USERPACK would
reconize this flag.
* The times called field has been added to the [PgDn] status window,
it is labeled TC=xxx.
* QuickBBS will now warn a user when he/she is attempting to reply to
a net-mail message with an unlisted node.
* QuickBBS will set the message (RECEIVED) flag correctly, despite
the upper/lower case letters of the To: name field.
* The <M>arked read function will now only read those messages which
belong to the current board you are reading. It will no longer
show every marked message.
* There is a new command type 44 which will allow the user to clear
all current combined board marks. This makes it easier to disable
all message boards so only a few can be selected.
* There is a new command type 45 which works exactly as type 5 except
it will pause at the end of the file with the common prompt:
"Press [Enter] to continue:"
This solves the problems of displaying files without it scrolling
off the screen because of menu text.
* There is now a new questonnaire file command, this command
will output (to the users screen) one of the answering variables.
This makes it possible to list the user's answers so far and ask if
they are correct. The format is:
LISTANSWER <Var Num>
<Var Num> is the variable number between 1 and 20.
NOTE: This was previously included for the 2.01 release, however
it went untested and never worked!
* This is another new questionnaire file command, this command will
allow the Sysop to alter the user's security level. The format is:
SETSECURITY <Level>
<Level> is any valid security level (1-32000).
* The bug with the PHONEDUP.LOG file only showing one entry has been
corrected. It should now log ALL duplicate phone numbers.
